I like independent movies. I like to see the work of many talented people resulting in a work of art. This piece is one of those. The acting, sound, post, cinematography, story, the entire piece was really good, it is totally worth watching. However, this piece of art tried too hard to suck the audience into its psyche by elongating the scenes to the point of exhaustion. I wonder how many "beats" were in the script. I actually got so bored with the pace of the movie that I decided to get out the ironing board to do something productive with my time while the movie slowly unfolded. So ladies and gents, make sure you bring something to keep you entertained during the unnecessarily long scenes. Chop 15 minutes off the top and you got yourselves a real winner. Still a good little indie.

Unbelievable characters, in a story so bad I literally threw away the DVD. It was certainly not worth owning this movie. The cops in this movie are portrayed as nasty and abusive on the train, incompetent when dealing with the girl who was in shock. An officer who can't hear is put in a position of minding the store by himself? When he does intervene in trying to saving a handicapped boy's life the DCI is more concerned about the cop not staying with the caravan, than the ease at which anyone could get the witness' home address from the police station.Bad,Bad story.

Look no further, without doubt the best Australian film you can easily get your hands on. Not very objective I realise but really worth a Sunday afternoon (or more) to immerse yourself. I believe people who dislike this film are expecting too much action or fast paced excitement. Each can be found here but are spread amongst some more drawn out themes. My big gripe was the opening scenes on the train - just didn't seem too plausible in Sydney. Getting inside the lead character's head should be at the heart of most film and here we get a frightfully painful perspective of life that few ever experience. Gritty and realistic acting are the foundation that breathe some life back into the once floundering Australian cinema. I think I can hear a pulse again...

For me, this was the best Australian film since "Lantana" ... no, I'll revise that and say it's better than "Lantana". The script was brilliantly written, with believable dialogue and characterization, and yet with an eerie, unsettling tension and mystery about it. The acting was very good all round, and in the case of Brendan Cowell, superb. I loved the music score and the moody photography. One of the most outstanding features of this most unusual film was the outstanding sound design. The scene where Brendan Cowell's character tries to drown out the ringing in his ears by making a variety of loud noises is uniquely effective in it's use of sound as an element of a film. You never quite know where this film is going, but when you get there, it's devastating. This film does on a minuscule budget what many big-budget Hollywood blockbusters could never do ... it touches your heart and it makes you use your brain.
